HT and I have been debating back and forth as to if this would be a good idea or not.

We have the Cowpokes, which is a great and fun celebration time for the forum. But we don't have any type of legacy of awards. However we run the risk of having peoples feelings hurt. Frankly, I appreciate every-time I am nominated for something by my peers since its a recognition.

I propose we induct up to two members every year. 1 Current member and 1 Legacy member (someone who is either no longer posting or post very very infrequently now).

I also think with the induction there should be a mini-bio attached to their induction. Favorite player, Nicknames we would call them, etc. Along with finding one of their most memorable posts and either quoting the whole thing or part of it while linking it so everyone can read the whole thing.

In terms of acknowledgment. We can have someone create a simple small banner or a Star of sorts that people can add to their sigs along with their current sigs.

So thoughts? Everything is open to suggestions.

I've gone on record as saying that I didn't think it would be a good idea. Some people on here take this site way too seriously and would get their e-feelings hurt if so-and-so got in before they did. But, I voted Yes. I say screw people's e-feelings. If you don't get in before someone you feel is less deserving, than maybe you are overestimating your own worth. Step up your game, be a better poster and earn it.

As I told T_O7 in a PM, our 3 fallen members: T14, SA and B2TB and TSSS should be our first class inducted into the E-Ring of Honor. Obviously, our 3 departed members are a no-brainer. Some of you may be asking, why TSSS? Well, he is the longest tenured Mod of our forum. Think about all the BS he has put up with from our members. He doesn't get the credit he deserves. Heck, back during the Cowpokes, Des even listed TSSS as one of our fallen members during his acceptance speech._________________

a limit per year sounds good but I don't think it should have to be 1 of each. one initial memorial induction class and OG class for the first sounds great._________________

If you guys are interested, then yeah lets start hashing out the details.

How many per year?

Everyone agrees this should only happen once a year right?

Also...new idea. What if when we induct a member we induct them with a legendary player from the Cowboys. So our forum members say SA is inducted and the player attached to him is one of the Triplets. Too complicated? Or neat idea?_________________

well 2 a year works? but we need to have an inaugural class starting with fallen homies and a legacy or two that is gone, then two current og members. then 2 a year from that date? once a year during our offseason.

the player thing sounds cool, or maybe a commemorative sig with an inside nickname or saying._________________

Another thing we could do is after we already have one class inducted. We could make it so that ROH members can choose to elevate a poster to their ranks each year. So the general forum can vote in one member per year (after the initial class) and the ROH members can induct one as well.

Thoughts on that?_________________

We will have one legacy class enshrined. This will consist of three members instantaneously - our three fallen brothers.

We will then have our first class enshrined. It will consist of up to two members. Voting will be discussed later.

At which point each subsequent class will take place at somepoint during the off-season. And only during the off-season.

After the first five members are inducted (inclusive of the legacy members) the general base (everyone here) can vote and select one member to go in the ROH per year. The already enshrined ROH members may also elevate one member to ROH status for a total of two members able to be inducted per year. The ROH members need not nominate and select someone each year.

This still up for discussion....

Voting

How would everyone feel about each year any person may submit up to 5 names. After 48 hours, the top 3 most listed individuals will be nominated. And we each send a PM to the host as to who we want with one vote. That person gets enshrined. (For the first class, the top 4 names mentioned will be listed and the top two voted for will be inducted)

Does that sound agreeable, or do we need to adjust?

Actual Enshrinement

When avaliable, do we want to try to include a mini bio?

Find a legendary post of said poster?

Link their names with a legendary Cowboys player either in the HOF or ROH?

Actual Award

So that no one has to lose their sig (which is akin to an identity around here...

How would everyone feel about an Avatar being created?

Or a Small Banner you can include on top of your current sig?

Or a Small Star you can add at the tail end of your sig. With like ROH 1st Class or something like that?

Thoughts?
